Tisela Viera , LCSW

Tisela Viera is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 10 years of professional experience. She specializes in supporting older adults who are navigating life transitions, managing chronic pain and illness, and coping with loss and trauma. Her practice also includes work with individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, and depression, helping them regain a sense of balance and direction.

Her therapeutic focus is on helping people rediscover inner strength, develop practical coping strategies, and foster a renewed sense of purpose and well-being. Tisela emphasizes collaborative care that honors each person’s unique history and goals, guiding clients through measurable steps toward improved daily functioning and emotional resilience.

Tisela’s approach is rooted in creating a safe, open, and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. She acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and supports clients through each stage of the healing and growth process, offering steady clinical guidance and compassionate listening.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Tisela incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and learn practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action. ACT can be helpful for people coping with ongoing pain, chronic illness, or persistent anxiety. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. In addition, Tisela uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, empathetic environment that honors each person’s experience and encourages self-directed growth.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Tisela collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions so therapy feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Tisela is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules or manage mobility and health limitations. These options increase flexibility and allow clients and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care in a way that supports each person’s life circumstances.
